Yep, Fedora 19 is really great. I'm so happy I switched to Fedora when it was at 17, never want to go back :-D.

To everyone at Fedora: Thanks! You are great :-).

And Gnome Shell is shaping up really great, except gpk-application. That's the sole thing they really could make better.
It just stalls to much "waiting in queue" without any apparent reason, that's a bit frustating.
And the search function could be improved. Currently you need to know the name of a package, otherwise you won't find it.

Though I expect this is going to be better with the hawkeye/libresolv stuff.

Definitely the biggest setback when you come from Ubuntu like me. I wonder when "Software" replacement will be ready, I like the designs they are providing.

Yes. But Im guessing Fedora wants to stay on YUM by using DNF as a test bed? This is orthogonal to Richards approach on Gnome-software. I might be very wrong on this. Im only guessing.

GNOME UI will be a frontend to distro package management tools with some additional functionality to manage other type of components such as application bundles in a sandbox. An intermediate layer like the PackageKit API can abstract out the distro specific implementation details. Fedora will continue to use yum for native package management.

Im sure the Gnomers at Ubuntu are making the best of it. Being Ubuntu based is not easy after all. Different x, different init and so on. This will probaly not get any easier in the future.

Hasn't the main Ubuntu GNOME packager quit for “real life” reasons?
Anyway: I’ve said it about Kubuntu and I say it about Ubuntu GNOME. The attachment to the Ubuntu base OS is completely irrational.
Fedora and openSUSE are both fine options for GNOME fans.
